- Handguard for the 308 Keltec RFB. It fits both the 18 and 24 inch models.
** As of this video Lucky Irishman is working on a modification for the [[Gen 1]] Gasblock due to the radius section preventing one of the parts from fitting correctly.**
It really looks so cool with that handguard.
Thankyou. I thought so too!.
For gen 2 rifles notching about an eighth inch off the back of the rail will allow you to remove your charging handle when the upper receiver is removed. If the rifle is assembled, then the bolt carrier will bottom out before the charging handle would have clearance to be removed much like the original hand guard.
Can you confirm exactly where to make the modd? I'm thinking about picking up this handguard, and im not too familiar with the locations of where youre taking about. thanks in advance
@@bradleytibayan7607 with the handguard on, feild strip the rifle. Pull the bolt carrier back all the way until the charging handle bottoms out on the rear trunion, then you can mark the handguard where it's in the way of the charging handle.
@@priestofmegatallica thank you. I super appreciate it.
The only problem I've had with the lucky Irishman hand guard is the ejection shoot falls out of the gas block where the factory hand guard held it in place. I wrapped up the ejection shoot with electrical tape till I find a permanent solution
The ejection chute is a friction fit to the gas block in the front and there's a tab in the back it should be attached to on the receiver.
It shouldn't be moving at all and would be a problem even with the original handgaurd.
Do you find that it interferes with throwing the safety from Fire to Safe? Looks like there's enough of a gap there, but still looks like it gets in the way a little. Could probably put a little bevel on it with a grinder.
Nope..No interference at all. Shot it this afternoon.
What kind of bolt did you use to replace the rearward handguard retention pin? I'm looking to do something similar, but I'm not sure how that setup works.
That looks awesome
The indians still teaching us stuff on youtube. Glorious
The indians?
What optic are you running on this rfb? Does anyone else know? Very intriguing. You might have mentioned it in this video, you might have not. Hope you let me know. Thanks
That is a NCStar/VISIM Delta 4x32 Optic. Inexpensive (But not an Airsoft optic)
I love that elevation is adjusted with a turret on the bottom of it and its QD.
I put it on for looks. But if you do get one, you’ll want a longer top rail to get the eye relief right.
@@Odinforever2000 I appreciate the response. Love the way it looks hopefully it does end up being practical.
@@itmayrain5357 I normally use a Burris AR332 Prism Scope with this rifle.. Both that and the Delta shoot just fun but have the same limitations on eye relief
@@Odinforever2000 the burris ar332 looks pretty good. I might pick one up as well for my ar. Thanks for sharing this one. It's looks pretty badass
Yeah, that optic really adds to the science fiction look of it.
Just checking. Did you have an issue installing your handguard? On the very first step, the mounting plate seemed to be machined too large, unable to fit within my gas block. Tried malleting it and just ended up bending the slot where the silver metal piece was supposed to slide through.
Yea it didn't fit on mine so I left it off. (the Piece that fits inside the gasblock section and the silver solder piece.)
Chalked it up to mine being a Gen 1 gas system. Doesn't hurt anything to leave it off
@@Odinforever2000 ah good to hear that. Was about to be depressed after waiting so long for the handguard lol. Did connect those attachment point pieces with long screws to prevent spinning since you didn't put the base in? Or was it just unnecessary?
@@-R.E.D.A.C.T.E.D- It wont spin with the silver solder part in the gasblock holes. I dont remember how long the screws were but they came with the handguard.
@@Odinforever2000 That's interesting, got done with attaching my rail last night. Without the base plate, it's just a little harder lining up the screws with the handguard. After getting that done, the rail is extremely solid. It actually leaves me wondering why the base plate was a thing. Thanks for saving me from a headache!
@@-R.E.D.A.C.T.E.D- I dunno..But Im glad it worked for you. Im guessing you have a Gen 1 RFB.
Actually there's a guy in Kansas that makes higher picatinny rail (all the way to 1"!) and it's a direct replacement for the stock one. I know cause I ordered one!
I have a 12” KmAerospace (They are in AZ) extended Rail on my RFB. They used to do taller but it looks like they are now discontinued.. Hi tech still offers some longer ones...I wish both would make a longer top rail for the RDB..it needs it.
@@Odinforever2000 Yes that was it! I was trying to dig through my emails from 4 years ago to find. It damn shame that he no longer makes them. I was about to buy the 1" riser like i should have from the beginning.
@@khoatran9482 Well..depending on what your running..There are taller mounts.
nice tool !!! congrats !!!!
Is there an aftermarket charging handle that lock in the up position like on the RDB?
Not aftermarket..But..there is an alternate charging handle on the defender or survival rdbs.
@@Odinforever2000 talking about the RFB not the RDB. But there doesn’t seem to be. It’s a nice QOL feature in the RDB.
@@PlazmaZ5 Nope. Nothing aftermarket.
The main reason is likely because the whole section the charging handle rides in, for the RFB, moves. It doesn't do this on the RDB.
Just how long was the wait until he shipped your order after charging your credit card? When you ordered did the site say they were in stock? I ordered about two weeks ago and the site said they were in stock. And have not received them.
Ehrm..I think it took 6 weeks or so..But that was when they literally first came out..
Guy is a 1 man show (as in ..he doesn't have help and cant maintain large warehouse of products and anodizing I believe is done by someone other than him).
He will deliver on his end.
(Dont forget Covid is a thing)
Got any questions just email him.
@@Odinforever2000 Interesting.
@@touofthehighplains You order yet? I know Covid hit his fam pretty hard
@@Odinforever2000 sheesh. That's pretty bad. I tried order one from them from their Gunbroker account. Can't even get in contact with them to send my payment. Hopefully it's only not so good customer service rather than something worse.
@@-R.E.D.A.C.T.E.D- I haven't heard from him in a couple weeks.I message him on Facebook or through his main website.
A+
Haven’t seen these guns broke down are the barrels standard AR barrels? Could you rebarrel it?
These arent Ar barrels. As for rebarreling, that will probably cost you alot with your favorite gunsmith.. What caliber were you looking at?
@@Odinforever2000 300 aac..
@@Odinforever2000 a 16” with 300aac would be so sweet
@@Odinforever2000 thanks for the answer though ! Have you group shot it and seen how accurate it is on average with the 18”
@@JoeWayne84 The Rdb would be lighter and.. probably easier to rebarrel..and use the same ar15 magazines..
The RFB would be kinda chonky in 300blk and you'd have to find a way to make the gun work with Fal magazines..Shortening the Barrel would probably make it an SBR due to it being under the overall length of 26 inches
As for accuracy..Mine,with 168gr Magtec Sniper,will average 1.6moa (5 shot groups) at 100 yards. Thats also with me using a 3x prisim.
Thinking about getting that rifle? As far as ergonomics and ease of use. Do you recommend?
Hardest part about this gun is learning the gas system.
Once you got that,this is a fun 308 bullpup to play with.
I'd recommend. Still have mine..and a few others
@@Odinforever2000 Cool. I want the rdb though. Going to do more research.
@@damalous7even644 I have one of those as well. The Rdb had alot of the "upgrades" I would have likes to see in the Rfb from the factory. Also a much lighter rifle and used to be had for around $700
Would a front sight hold zero when mounted on the handguard?
I don't think I can answer that question honestly.
I would trust it to hold zero if it was attached to a single (very long) section of pic rail (front of the gun to the back).
@@Odinforever2000 thats what I was thinking myself, a shame that I'm not seeing anything like that.
@@keegenke I personally wouldn't put a front sight (and trust it on that section) unless it was non-removable.(The section that front sight would sit on)
@@keegenke You could go with the Keltec Quad rail instead of this.. That I would trust with a front sight plus riser)
So, you can still take the rifle down normally?
Only thing I'm not removing now is the handgaurd
Is that the Halo DMR
Pre Covenant War Yea Lol
That would be the Desert Tech MDR.
what's the sight called?
That is a NCStar/VISIM Delta 4x32 Optic. Inexpensive (But not an Airsoft optic)
I love that elevation is adjusted with a turret on the bottom of it and its QD.

Is that a muzzle break inside of a flashcan?
Well yes and no.. That is a muzzle break inside of an Indian Creek blast deflector.Removable for when I dont have folks near me at the range to use my muzzle break without incurring unessesary aggro..
@@Odinforever2000 nice, makes sense, when else can a 308 muzzle be that close to your face...
@@kaydohla So..The blast is not noticeable when using a standard birdcage or sideways/sideblast brakes like the king comp.Just like shooting any other rifle at that point.
Muzzle Breaks with 35degree rearward vents will make you take notice tho...
Is there a link to this? I didn't see it on their website.

Thank you sir.
Think maybe the guys there would be able to make a folding charging handle for the RFB? I tinkered with one that used the standard charging handle and put a G3 folding charging handle on it but my prototype fell to pieces after 15 rounds or so.
@@juggernaut7625 Yea..Theres alot of metal going back and forth.. Fortunately the smaller RDB has what your looking for in a folding charging handle.
What size pin did you use in the middle ??
I cant remember off hand what it was.
@@Odinforever2000 i really gotta get one!! I am waiting on the rail in the mail now, and still wanna be able to clean it without taking EVERYTHING apart
@@syko318 Eh..I still clean mine without taking off the handgaurd..Basically the same with the RDB at this point.

what scope is that?

WHAT IS THAT OPTIC?
An NCStar/VISIM Delta 4x32 Optic. Inexpensive (But not an Airsoft optic).It's in here for looks.
My Burris Ar332 is what's normally on there.
@@Odinforever2000NC star is poor tier garbage
Would be a decent review if it actually featured the handguard instead of your face talking about how much you contributed.
First vid on anything. Gotta start somewhere
Is that a Vism 4x?
It is
